hi twink

lil'monkey has baces. 2 of my other kids have had them too.

i had molars removed for the same reason as you. my kids had pallette spreaders put in. well, bubbamonkey had the lower one put in, not upper.

it slowely widens so htere is more room for teeth.

in lil'monkey's case ( i can show you her before pictures) it was a remarkable differende. she does has a severe underbite that my other kids do not have. we did , well she did, opt to have 4 molars removed this spring instead of jaw surgery.

most ortho's give a free evalution. go to a few of them.he is still pretty young. he hasn't had his major growth yet. lol...that man jaw line yet.

*sigh* if they don't have dental insurance. it it very expensive. lil'monkey's mouth has cost about $6500.
